A Chinese Song about Mandela 光辉岁月-- 黄家驹 beyond So much news about Mandela today, it's really a sad day! He is a respectable and great man in the world. This Chinese song is created in 1991 for Mandela's outstanding career and unforgetable life experience. The lyrics is so touching that even though you don't know the story, you will be moved. Besides, Huang Jiaju is also a respectable person with special personality. Before getting famous in China, he and his band have struggled for about 10 years. When they were in poor situation, they even use their money to make the records, then sell them on the street. Many classical music of BEYOND are created in this period. It’s a pity that he died very young. Every great man has an unique experience, just like Mandela. As the lyrics says:“今天只有残留的躯壳，迎接光辉岁月，风雨中抱紧自由，一生经过彷徨的挣扎，自信可改变未来，问谁又能做到！” Even the only thing you have is your body today, you have to face to the bright future, holding freedom tightly in wend and rain. Every one will have a period of struggling experience, but confidence will change the future. How few people can do like this! 2013.12.16

Silkworms When i listened to the radio last night, it reminded me of keeping silkworms when i was in my primary school. It's really an interesting experience. In the spring, when the mulberry tree starts sprouting, it's the right time to keep silkworms. First, i will ask some eggs from my classmates. The eggs are on one paper, really small, it's even smaller than an ant's head. As spring is still cold in north, and temperature is not suitable for them to come out naturally, so we will got some cotton to wrap the whole paper, keeping it under our arms. When the classes break was coming, the first thing we will do is opening the paper quickly and see if there is any silkworms coming out. In the fact, the silkworms will die very easily. If you didn't check them , they will die in the cotton, so we will check now and then. The new-born silkworm is really small, like a hairline and very short, the color is black. After all the silkworms coming out, we will took them home, because with growing they take more space. At first, they will eat very little mulberry leaves, one leave and fed about 20 silkworms. With time passing by, they grow up very quickly, one week later, their body size will be three times as before. And they ate more and more, so the first thing after school is picking up mulberry leaves for them. At this time, the color changes too, from black to little gray, and their heads are already white. Then their body will be white all over, and their body sizes are like pinky fingers. With growing, we need to spend more time on keeping them, every silkworm can ate several leaves, so we need to find leaves everywhere. Finally, about one month later, silkworms stopped to eating anything. They starts producing silk to wrap themselves. Then the silkworm chrysalises will lie every coner of the boxes. One day, i don't know why, all the chrysalises have a holes, and eggs are on all over the sides of the boxes. I feel excited and find the silk moths everywhere, but i can't find them. Mom tell me that the moths must die outside, and their life ended. My emotion was so complicated, excited and sad. What a pity that i didn't see the beautiful moths and they die so quietly.

北国の春 Spring in the North Yesterday, when i was on the bus, there came the classical Japanese song, 北国の春. Although it's autumn now, we still long for the spring. This song is from Japan, of course , we also have the Chinese version. The north China and Japan are at the same latitude, so the weather are very similar. Spring in the north is always so short, less than one month. Half of the year is in winter, cold and dry. People who live here look forward to spring more eagerly that anywhere else. This song recalls all the sweet memories in my hometown. When we were young, we want to leave home, thinking that outside world are always better. Now the dream comes true, we will cherish the precious experience. Adults always think that children are too young to memorize something. In fact, the memory in childhood will last forever. It's more lasting than memory in any period. Do you agree with me?

因为爱所以爱 love just because you love it 不是为了什么回报所以关怀 i care about it not for the pay back 不是为了什么明天所以期待 i look forward to it not for hope in tomorrow 因为我是一个人 只能够对感觉坦白 just because i am single now, and i must be frank to my feelings 只是为了你一句话我全身摇摆 i will cheer up just because your words 只是为了一个笑容爱就存在 love will exist just because a little smile 那些想太多的人 有生之年都不会明白 those people, who think too much, can not catch that 因为爱所以爱 love just because you love it 温柔经不起安排 gentleness can not affort to the intended management 愉快那么快不要等到互相伤害 happiness passed so quickly, so don't harm each other 因为爱所以爱 love just because you love it 感情不必拿来慷慨 don't take your feelings so generously 谁也不用给我一个美好时代 please don't set me a beautiful moment 我要你现在 because i want the present you

His mother said:" Honey, hurry up, your classmate are going to school now! " But this boy still ate slowly, with head crooked. Maybe he was thinking: Mummy, i really do not want to go to school! Every body has his worry in every period of time. I think this little boy is cute and funny. Maybe some elder people will think I am funny and naive too? Hahaha....

Every weekend, i will go to swim and i can swim for 100 meters now. I feel proud. And from swimming, i learned that if you are planning to something, do not hesitate, just do it!
